Top 5 cloud migration challenges and how to overcome them

HomeResourcesBlogTop 5 cloud migration challenges and how to overcome them
February 7, 2022 | Azure, Cloud, Cloud Computing
Read Time: 05:00

The demand for cloud computing is increasing at a rapid pace. It has transformed business ways and enabled new workplace capabilities such as AI as a service and online collaboration.

Recently, 59% of tech decision-makers stated that they expected to be in the cloud in 18 months, increasing from 38% presently. According to the research, 92% of firms’ IT environments are already partially on the cloud. This shows that businesses are aggressively adopting the cloud. A multi-cloud approach places the burden on the public cloud, which reduces costs while increasing agility and flexibility.

Migrating to the cloud successfully demands a great deal of attention from organizations. If the company isn’t ready to face the obstacles of cloud migration, it might be costly and harmful for both the company and its data. However, knowing about these issues and how to overcome them before embarking on the cloud path can provide you with a significant edge. We’ve outlined 5 major cloud migration challenges that organizations encounter – and how to solve them – below.

Building a Cloud Migration Strategy

While certain apps and data are challenging to migrate to the cloud, a successful cloud migration requires good end-to-end planning. This success varies depending on the business model, and a different cloud paradigm may be required for different workloads to obtain the best results from cloud migration.

To overcome this challenge, determine where, how, and when to migrate your company’s current infrastructure and applications.  Develop a multi-migration strategy and match business objectives to projected benefits. Evaluate which data and apps are non-essential and move them first. Consider the implications of transferring your least important apps to the broader IT ecosystem. This will certainly boost the complexity of your migration procedure while keeping the journey easy and smooth.

Choose a Suitable Cloud Service Provider

There are several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) on the market today. Industry leaders such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform coexist with many smaller competitors offering customized or specialized services. This “abundance problem” might make it difficult for enterprises to select the best cloud service provider for their objectives. Another issue is vendor lock-in, which occurs when organizations want to continue with one vendor even if it isn’t the greatest match for them.

Before deciding on a Cloud Service Provider, you should be extremely clear about your migration objectives. This allows you to compare the offers of multiple CSPs and then select the one that best meets your needs. It will also assist you in identifying the essential cloud components in terms of architecture, compliance, and security, along with selecting the appropriate cloud environment – private, public, or hybrid. Look for a CSP with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that define their duties, support levels, code or data portability, fees, and how they may assist you if you decide to discontinue utilizing their services.

Managing the Cost of Cloud Migration

The primary reason for businesses to choose cloud migration services is to save money. Companies, however, fail to see the transformation from an economic standpoint. They lack a defined strategy for where to spend and save money, which results in dynamic cost changes in a cloud environment. The most expensive costs are those associated with rewriting software or program architecture, performance concerns such as latency and downtime, and user training. Detecting issues early is critical to avoiding unpleasant surprises later.

To overcome this challenge, examine your organizational goals, create a budget, and research the cloud solutions accessible. Consider capital investment (server, network, etc.), operational expenditure (maintenance, bandwidth, etc.), and overhead charges when calculating the entire cost of migration. Consider the expense of training employees on new technologies along with the cost of changing or rewriting data for cloud compliance. Consider shifting to the cloud “gradually” to manage your investment. Consider a hybrid cloud alternative if complete cloud migration is not feasible. Only migrate apps used occasionally, and retain the remaining on-premises or in a private cloud.

Monitor Security and Privacy

One of the primary aims for cloud migration service providers is to preserve privacy and security. When businesses engage with cloud suppliers, they share a range of duties, and access is also offered to users. Because the risks of a security breach are significant at this time, the organization’s top priority must also be increased security.

Understand a CSP’s security and governance processes and regulations before joining up with them. Inquire about where the data gets stored and if it’s encrypted from beginning to end. Question about the industry-standard rules and frameworks they adhere to, such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and so on. Check whether they can guarantee safe point-to-point transfer and that the firewall always protects the data and is never visible to third parties.

Train Employees on your Cloud Solutions

When your organization decides to incorporate cloud services or enhance them with new technology, it is essential to anticipate that others may not agree on migrating to the cloud. Employees’ reluctance is natural. The easiest approach to keep this problem under control is to educate your personnel on using cloud-based solutions. It will reduce their aversion to new technologies.

Invest in a comprehensive change management strategy that includes a strong “people” factor. This assists you in managing the project’s scope and minimizing inconvenience to the business and employees. Obtain leadership buy-in from the start. It will be hard to encourage staff engagement and acceptance later if senior executives do not grasp the business requirement for the transition. Then, rather than simply imposing the new technology on staff, clarify the reasons for the transformation. Create a good culture around the migration and ensure that staff is sufficiently taught to adapt to new cloud-based methods. Additionally, consider straightforward solutions that interact with the present tech stack to help the new process run more smoothly, reduce interruptions, and boost staff efficiency.

Migrate to Cloud Smoothly with Microsoft Azure Training

Moving to the cloud is a chance to improve the agility and innovation of existing business operations. However, cloud migration may be a complicated process that presents several hurdles to any firm despite its many potential benefits. But, these issues are not intractable if your company identifies them early and develops a plan to deal with them. This can enable a seamless move and take advantage of cloud-based IT operations for several years to come.

Microsoft is the world’s second most popular cloud platform, after AWS. To meet the growing demands for Azure and Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft is continually boosting its cloud capacity. In terms of market size, it is fast catching up to AWS. Microsoft Azure is a popular and quickly developing global public cloud service.

This shows that the worldwide public cloud business has a promising future, with cloud demand increasing daily. This signifies that the time has come to master the abilities you’ll need to advance to boost workforce efficiency.

Whether you’re putting up a short-term trial workload or gradually moving production capabilities, knowing your Cloud budget and efficiently utilizing Azure is crucial. You will discover how cloud computing works and how to advance your career with comprehensive Azure training.
